Thanks for the pointer.  I installed this and love being able to type in
arbitrary perl commands.  I assume I must be doing something wrong, though,
because this is my prompt:

\C{bold,blue}\u@\h \A \C{green}\W\$\C{reset}

Is something supposed to be interpreting this?  Am I missing a package?

(Hmm.  I sound like a typical cygwin mailing list newbie)
